Centre Evaluation Report For Year 2000 Awards During The 7th Kari Biennial Scientific Conference November 2000

Abstract

The KARl's core business is to develop agricultural technologies and induce dissemination of the same through working in partnership with other interested parties, specifically end users. The institute's efforts aim at improving national agricultural productivity in general and regional uplift of agricultural production in particular. In order for the institute to address its mandate properly such that results are realised, its organisational structure and working systems should be structured in a manner that all national and regional constraints of agricultural production are simultaneously addressed. Such a structure should provide development and assignments of centre mandates to address certain specific issues and operate in designated localities. The quality and quantity of agricultural products should be put into consideration when developing technologies to enhance the same.
